Padam Saraogi

Strategist in training | Turning data into decisions | Finance, Strategy, Dashboards

I build, break, and rebuild ideas. That’s how I learn.
​
I’m currently pursuing a dual degree in Technology and Business Management at Masters’ Union, along with Management Studies from Delhi University. My focus lies where mathematics meets decision-making — in fields like quantitative finance, algorithmic trading, and strategic investment.
​
​ I’m fascinated by how abstract models shape real-world outcomes — how data becomes insight, and how code can move capital. My goal is to build tools that not only predict but understand behavior, risk, and market structure.
​
​ Beyond finance, I explore automotive systems, Esports, and game theory — each a domain of fast decisions, pattern recognition, and high precision. Whether analyzing equity markets or racecar telemetry, I think in systems and optimize for outcomes.
​
I’m building toward a future in modern finance — where innovation isn’t a buzzword but a function of rigor, logic, and code.
